"We knew the world would not be the same.  A few people laughed, a few people cried.  Most people were silent.  I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita: Vishnu is trying to persuade the prince that he should do his duty and to impress him he takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now i am become death, the destroyer of worlds.  I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." - J. Robert Oppenheimer reflecting on the first atomic test blast, code-named "Trinity", July 16, 1945,  desert area of Alamogordo, New Mexico
